What Is An Indie Artist?

An indie artist is a special type of person.

A person with the drive to move forward by doing the right things.

Let’s break it down.

What is indie?

In my view, indie is simply a do-it-yourself mentality.

Indie means you’re not waiting around for permission. Indie means you create your own opportunities. Indie means you set your sights on a goal — and then you make it happen with whatever resources you have at the moment.

Indie means you surround yourself with like-minded people who provide you the encouragement to keep going through the tough times.

What is an artist?

Many people think an artist is someone who paints, someone who sculpts or someone who writes a poem — I do not.

To me an artist is a practitioner.

An artist practices his/her craft. An artist seeks feedback from trusted sources in order to improve. An artist wants to grow. An artist needs to continually move forward. An artist is actively engaged in their craft. Whatever it may be.
